After what felt like ages, FC Dallas finally returned home on Saturday night and decided a routine win simply wouldn’t do.
Saturday’s return to Toyota Stadium had a bit of everything. Dallas spotted Sporting Kansas City two early goals before fighting its way back with two quick goals around the half-hour mark and then taking the lead before halftime. They then gave up the lead midway through the second half before rescuing the game with a stoppage-time penalty kick.
It wasn’t pretty at all. The defending left plenty to pick apart. But there was plenty to like about the response and continued resiliency from this club as they picked up its first win at home since early May.
Let’s dive in.
It’s good to be home
I could talk a lot about this result, and I will…but man did it feel good to have a game day in Frisco again.
Everything from the new murals, the massive club in the East Stand and everything in between, the updated portion of the stadium feels really nice. Almost like a proper stadium in some sort.
There is something about the energy of a home crowd that does lift you up and get you going, even when a game isn’t quite going the way it should at times.
And boy did Dallas make this one interesting for everyone involved.
